At the meeting, party workers discussed regularisation issue of unauthorised colonies, delay in voter-cards preparation, poor situation in hospitals and the BSP's bid to make its electoral foray in the capital.     

Dikshit also echoed similar views and said the government is working for welfare of all sections of society.     

Indicating that the party has got into the poll mode, Aggarwal said another meeting will be convened soon with party MPs, MLAs and corporators to discuss election issues.
